If you grew up in the 90's in the UK you'd sort of recognise something from stuff like the road protest movement, free parties etc - the ubiquitous hi-viz jackets of the police. To understand the cultural context think about those lines of Hunter S Thompson about the hippie movement as a wave of love and optimism. This diorama is what is left behind when the wave breaks and ebbs away. I wonder if the serotonin receptors in Jimmy's brain have just burnt out - maybe that is why it's so bleak...

The police building their headquarters as a '323 metre solid gold pyramid that harks to the Tower of Babel' seems pretty on-the-nose. https://vimeo.com/151955927

the pyramid is sponsored by Greggs.

The UK doesn't have the same anti-police sentiment you find in the US.

In the UK the police are held to a high standard and are generally respected for the hard work they do.

Erm. Where in the UK does that happen exactly?
